Ever have the desire to be your own boss? To take a passion of yours to the next level and offer it up, and get paid for your time and talent? If so, then my guest today on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah is definitely someone you want to get to know! Lindsay Teague Moreno is a married mama of three little ones, a successful business owner, podcaster, and author. Her book, "Boss Up!" was my book club pick for last September, and I am super happy to be able to talk with her today. She's an ardent advocate for women entrepreneurs, and those who want it all but give themselves 50 excuses why "right now" isn't the right time. Lindsay helps women gain the confidence to know that having ambition doesn't diminish their roles of wife or mother, it ENHANCES it! It is not only OK to want it all, it's also very possible! I'm so glad you've decided to join us for this episode, ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah

LINDSAY TEAGUE MORENO: Author of "Boss Up!"

David Francisco Platillero is a survivor. Young, handsome, healthy, and talented, he was living his dream when IT happened. Hit by a distracted driver while riding his bicycle, David was gravely injured and told he would never walk again... HA! His lion heart led him through the pain of his injuries, surgeries, and months of grueling therapy to the love of his life, Kristi. The two now walk together through life and feel like they can face any challenge it has to offer. David has released a CD, and companion book, called LIONHEART; an inspiring story of love, forgiveness, and the power of music. He and his beautiful bride Kristi join me today to talk about their journey and their mission of empowering others to face their fears, even when all seems lost. Lionheart is also my February book club pick.

DAVID FRANCISCO: Lionheart

This Valentine's Day podcast episode is all about The Heart. Specifically, about the Healing Heart... and even more specifically, how art can be a soothing balm for an aching heart. My guest, Elizabeth St. Hilaire, is a successful artist, teacher, author and innovator. I stumbled onto her work when I was grieving deeply, and found submerging myself into the art techniques she developed (and went on to share with the world,) had an immensely therapeutic and transformative effect. Elizabeth's own heart is made of gold, and she and I have become good friends. I'm so happy that she agreed to join me on LOVE SOMEONE to encourage anyone and everyone to give art and creativity another try. If you've experienced a loss and/or find yourself in place of vulnerability, or if you're the type to proclaim that you don't have any talent or aren't creative... this episode is for you. Give us a listen. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Oh Celine! How do we love thee... in so many many ways! Almost no one says "Valentine's" like Celine, or rather SINGS Valentine's! We are so fortunate that THIS Valentine's Day, she's back- better, stronger, and more courageous than ever! Courage, her new album, is all about where Celine is right now in her life - and it will resonate with millions of her fans that’ll hear a little of themselves in her music. She’s learning to live without her husband by her side, but instead within her heart. She’s watching her boys grow and change and championing their growth as well as her own. She’s on the road without her family for the first time, since the kids are involved in school and sports and in very good hands back home... It’s a time of intense challenge, discovery, and COURAGE and on this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, she's going to share a big dose of it with us!

RICHARD MARX: "Right Here Waiting For You"

There's a wonderful organization in the Chicago area called Santa's Volunteers, who generously enable hundred of families (nearly 1000!) to celebrate the holidays with food, gifts, and the basic necessities of a cold mid-western winter. John Churchill is the chairman of the board, and he met with me at the Museum of Radio Broadcasting to tell me all about this amazing group of glad tidings. Another guy dropped in also - he was wearing a fuzzy red suit, trimmed in fur. He had a snowy white beard, rosy red cheeks, eyes that twinkled, and lots of ho ho holiday spirit! 4 of my kids joined us too - won't you? It's Christmas and we are feeling The Spirit here on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah! Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

SANTA & JOHN CHURCHILL: Merry Christmas from Santa and Santa's Volunteers!

On today's episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, I'm celebrating this season of gratitude with you! The most common question I'm asked, is how I've continued to do what I do for all the years I've been doing it? (Radio that is!) And the answer is this - because of the amazing stories my listeners share with me, and the thread of gratitude that seems to run through them all. Life is a stormy adventure to be sure, but those that not only survive, but thrive, have one thing in common - an attitude of gratitude. And these are the folks that inspire me day after day, to get up, to do my radio program, to care for my family, and to LIVE! Live to the fullest, grateful for all I've ever experienced, all the experiences yet to come, and holding nothing back... Have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving my friends, I am so very grateful for all of you. ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

DELILAH: A Season of Gratitude!

In the studio with me today is Wayne Chimenti, a retired tall boat captain, and an active program director and mentor to youth involved in The Community Boat Project of Port Hadlock, a maritime community in Washington State. Wayne is accompanied by a few of his interns working on the Shelter From The Storm, program, a subset of the larger organization that is busy building tiny homes. I found Wayne and his group of merry builders when trolling through on-line classified ads late one evening. I ran across a tiny home for sale that caught my fancy. When I made further inquiries, not only did I learn about the item that had been posted, I found about an incredible group of people working to better the lives of students through some amazing experiential learning. I had to have these folks share their work and their mission with you on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah.

With me today on LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, is Emmy and Tony Award winner singer, actor, educator, and downright beauty, inside and out, Ms. Kristin Chenoweth. I became a fan of Kristin's after watching her perform on Broadway in Wicked. In fact, I saw her in that role at least three times! Kristin has a new album out, "For the Girls," a celebration of music’s most passionate women from one of Broadway’s most vibrant stars. It includes songs such as “The Way We Were,” (Streisand) “When I Fall in Love” (Garland) and - my favorite - "Desperado" (Ronstadt). If you're lucky, you can catch Kristin this November at one of only 8 performances on Broadway as she premiers the songs from this new hit album. In addition to her singing and acting career, Kristin's heart is in coaching and supporting the arts through the Kristin Chenoweth Arts and Education Foundation. This started after the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center, in her home town of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, named a theater after her. Kristin felt a responsibility to uphold the honor they had placed in her and started teaching a yearly master class to a few high school and college students. That evolved into the Kristin Chenoweth Broadway Bootcamp, supporting 50 students from all over the nation. She's now in the process of building a creative arts center that will cater to the underserved youth of Oklahoma providing training in Crafts, Drawing, Design, and Writing - as well as serving dinner to it's enrollees! Kristin is doing her part, to make the world a better place one heart at a time and I am so happy that we were given this time to get to know her better! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

NATASHA BEDINGFIELD: "Roll With Me"

Cathy Parker was a bank employee, a wife, and a mother of 4 student athletes. She didn't have a lot of money, or power, and had ZERO knowledge of artificial athletic turf... but when her children called to her to watch a documentary about a  town in the northern reaches of Alaska, struggling to keep kids safe, engaged, and in school, she took action! Cathy answered a whisper in her heart, which led to a whole lotta shouting on the sidelines! Her book, "Northern Lights" tells the story of how she was able to get an artificial athletic field, purchased, transported, and installed in a town with no roads in or out. And, how she changed countless lives in the process, but none so much as her own. Northern Lights was my book club pick for August - check it out on my web site - and join us for this inspiring episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

Today I welcome a guest into my studio who has spent his life in public service. Once upon a childhood, he was my neighbor, my classmate, and my friend. Today he is everyone's neighbor and friend. Kerry Tymchuk has worn many professional hats - first as a young public prosecutor, then on to several roles in Washington DC, and then back to Oregon where he is now the Director of the Oregon Historical Society. He's the son of a small town merchant/mayor, and a teacher; their attendance at every community meeting and event were almost guaranteed. Kerry, and his brother Keith, grew up with that ideal of service and have now become the models their parents once were. Keith (who I may have had a little tiny crush on...) became a teacher and returned to our home town where he too has served as mayor, and together with his wife, Jennifer (also a teacher), and children, are enmeshed in the fabric of the community.  In between official roles, Kerry has co-written 8 books with individuals who have had big impacts on our world, became a 4 time Jeopardy! champion, and served on numerous boards and causes, his favorite being the Special Olympics.  He is a husband to another mover and shaker, Becky, who is the president of their local school board, and a father to two young adults just now making their way in the world.  His message to us? Find your place to serve, you always get more than you give! And please remember, "civility and decency still matter."  Thank you for joining us today, I hope you feel inspired! ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

KERRY TYMCHUK: A Life of Service

I have long admired Elton John, and fell in love with his music waaaaaay back in the day with hits like Honkey Cat, Island Girl, and Crocodile Rock... I've played his songs, been to his concerts, watched his life unfold in the media, and even had the chance to interview him a time or two, but NEVER did I have a sense that I really knew the man behind the giant sequined sunglasses until I watched the biopic, Rocket Man! On this episode of LOVE SOMEONE with Delilah, Elton and I have an absolutely lovely conversation about the movie, and how closely it resembles his life, his music - old and new - his past addictions and current sobriety, the changes of perspective and motivations that children bring, and of course, his Farewell Concert Tour.  What and incredible man! Join us, (and listen for this gem, "The philosophy of getting sober is helping others." Amen!) ~ Delilah Learn more about your ad-choices at https://news.iheart.com/podcast-advertisers

ELTON JOHN: The Final Tour

In a world that can feel divisive and bleak, it's easy to get caught up in feelings of hopelessness, but the beautiful, glorious, truth is this: LOVE NEVER FAILS. In the 40 years I’ve been on the airwaves, I’ve implored my listeners to LOVE SOMEONE; Family, friends, neighbors, community, the Lord, and themselves. I’m talking to guests with names you may know, and those you may not. But the reason I'm talking to them is because I feel they have an inspiring story to share with you on how to change the world, One Heart At A Time. New episodes of LOVE SOMEONE drop the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month,
